U.S. Medical, Inc. U.S. Medical Inc. is a Denver-based company
which distributes medical equipment to health-care practitioners.
A company called  International Hair Removal
Systems (IHRS) has listed U.S. Medical as a distributor on
IHRS websites and printed materials promoting their SuperPhaser
Gold "transcutaneous electrolysis" device.
Treatment with the SuperPhaser
Gold or other IHRS devices should be avoided by all consumers.
There is no published data showing it can remove hair permanently.
Reputable companies usually do not associate themselves with
these devices.
2002 update:
According to a former employee, this company is no longer in
business. On 20 November 2002, I received the following note from
R.H., who was listed by Rejuvenu as the US Medical distributor
for Super Phaser Gold (SPG):
First I would like to say, excellent job on your info web site!!
I love what you are doing for the public (including professionals
such as physicians).
Can ask a favor of you? I noticed that you have my name associated
with U.S. Medical and selling the Super Phaser Gold. I do not
work with US Medical anymore and in fact US Medical is no longer
in existence. They went out of business earlier this year. At
the time of my employment with USM I was in charge of the Aesthetic
Sales Department. The company was starting
to sell the SPG and shortly after the company started selling
it they received tremendous negative feedback from customers.
USM stopped selling the product for fear that it was a product
that could not be reliable for effective results (as advertised
by Lee Cole). It was a large mistake on USM’s part.
I would like you to take my name of your website, please! I
do not associate myself with USM or SPG and I would like to
put that period of my life behind me, I was told to do my job
and unfortunately for a time it was to try and sell the SPG
(you know what they say about hindsight).
